perl per package "metadata" generator

Daniel would you mind giving an example of how that's supposed to be run?

@zmedico if you get a chance can you look it over and double check that it generates valid metadata.

Fixes the INHERITED line (which is the _eclasses_ line with more information in the internal cache).

This has the INHERITED line sorted in alphabetical order, whereas normal metadata seems to be sorted by something else.

The tool that I'm planning for bug #261377 will take package atoms as arguments, so cache.pl won't be needed.
